Dick,
? The tinySA will pale in comparison to your Siglent, but for a hobbyist or student that can't afford a $1000 instrument and wants to learn the basis of spectrum analysis measurements it will be a welcome purchase.
? I suspect after learning some of the uses of a spectrum analyzer with the tinySA, some hobbyist will graduate on to to Siglent, Rigol, or other higher performance analyzers.? Other users won't be able to justify the cost to their XYZ and will turn to DIY projects to enhance the use of the tinySA.?
?Erik already is thinking about a FW upgrade that will allow one tinySA to control another over the USB interface for a stepped faux tracking generator set-up.? Just a white board idea for now.
? As a first exposure to frequency domain measurements, the tinySA? would be my choice over a textbook on the same subject.
